I also love listening to music, especially modern jazz from 1958 to 1963.　"Kind of Blue" is the jazz record that I first bought when I was 15 years old without knowing about jazz at all. 　It suddenly made me get stuck in Jazz.　The great performance by M.Davis, J. Coltrane, B. Evans, W. Kelly, J. C.Adderley, P.Chambers, J. Cobb made me absorbed in jazz.　My favorite musician is Bill Evans in jazz pianists, so I often pretended to play the flute like Jeremy Steig on flute with listening to the record of "What's New" by B. Evans with Jeremy Steig..　I have been trying to make blue glaze for my pottery, which is named after "Blue in Green"that is one of my favorite jazz numbers.　I love listening to Jazz vocal too.　Especially, the record of John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman is the greatest!　It's just like the bible for me.　I recommend a Japanese jazz vocalist to the jazz lovers out of Japan.　Her name is Junko Mine.　Her "I wish you love" is my favorite one. I went to New York to listen to Jazz about 20 years ago.　Even now, I can remember hearing "Sophisticated Lady" by Toots Thielemans on the chromatic harmonica.　Sometimes, when I listen to "The Lady Wants to Know" by Michael Franks, it reminds me of hearing that song in a yellow cab on the way to a hotel from the Blue Note late at night.　I sometimes played Bossa Nova with my friends when I was a high school boy.　I played the flute and my friends played the guitar and bass. One day, we recorded "The Girl from Ipanema" on a cassette in the rest room of our high school because of the great acoustics.　It was a great performance for us and is one of my most precious memories.　One of those friends helped me to build our website.　I appreciate his help.
